Pet.E. (WVU)—Chairperson. Geophysical well log interpretations,Reservoir engineering, Design and application.Petroleum and natural gas engineering is concerned with design and applicationaspects of the discovery, production, and transportation of oil and gas resources.Professionals in this field must have a thorough understanding of the geologicalprinciples relating to the occurrence, discovery, and production of fluid hydrocarbons.The petroleum and natural gas engineer must know and be capable of applying bothconventional engineering design principles as well as those pertaining specifically tothe field of petroleum and natural gas engineering. These are developed in thepetroleum engineering courses in the curriculum. In addition, a strong foundation inmathematics and the sciences broadens the future engineer's professional capabilities.Because many engineers will be employed as supervisors or executives, managerialand social skills are also emphasized.Students are offered the opportunity to enter all phases of the petroleum andnatural gas industry in meaningful and important jobs, continue their education towardsadvanced degrees, or—in some cases— pursue a combination of professionalemployment and continued education.268 College of Mineral and Energy Resources
1In the senior year, electives are offered in which the student may obtain additionaldepth of knowledge in specific areas of petroleum and natural gas technology. Eachstudent is individually assisted in course selection by an adviser who is a member ofthe Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering faculty.Students gain practical experience and first-hand knowledge of many aspects ofpetroleum and natural gas engineering through close proximity to the industry in WestVirginia and surrounding states. Production sites, secondary and enhanced oilrecovery projects, compressor stations, gas storage fields, and corporate offices allprovide excellent opportunities for study. Additional experience is provided throughmodern well equipped laboratories within the department and the University. Studentsare urged to gain field experience through summer employment in the industry.A student admitted to the program must achieve a grade-point average of 2.25 orbetter and a grade of C or better in all petroleum and natural gas engineering (Pet. E.)courses in order to qualify for the bachelor's degree.FacultyProfessorsRobert W. Chase, Ph.D. (Penn St. U.). Adjunct. Natural gas engineering.James A. Wasson, M.S.P.N.G. (Penn St. U.).
